Chapter 903: Northern Desert
When B Er heard this, he was anxious, the prince was in retreat, the princess ran away, and when the prince came out, did they want their lives? Especially listening to the guard's report, Suijun is simply a den of robbers, and a person as valuable as the crown princess, if he loses a strand of hair when he goes there, I'm afraid that everyone can't afford it.
They all asked the princess to think twice.
Xiling Lan sneered: "Don't think twice, Suijun is my Xiling Lan's fief, my fiefdom, I can't even stay with the people I sent, what else do you think?" Needless to say, I will set off tomorrow, and I want to see who is sacred, and dare to be so presumptuous! ”
Yi Er knew that he couldn't stop it, so he could only suggest: "Then the crown princess also needs to bring more people, Suijun is now in an unknown form and chaotic, although the crown princess is strong in martial arts, you also need people to find out the news and the like, why don't your subordinates arrange a team of people to escort the princess." ”
Xiling Lan was to refuse, but after thinking about it, although he was not afraid, but now the situation in Suijun is unknown, it is better to be cautious, especially what Yi Er said needs to be done by manpower to find out the news, it is indeed needed, if Suijun is recovered, it also needs manpower to be temporarily managed, and it can only be taken over by training people.
made a promise at the moment, and B Er was also a person of action, and quickly selected dozens of elite players, plus four rings of rice balls and rice wine, and handed them over to Zi Eleven to lead the team.
Overnight, the manpower was set, the luggage was prepared, and the secret guard and intelligence department under the prince's mansion were also ordered to secretly protect the crown princess and transmit the news of the crown princess back at any time.
Early in the morning, Xiling Lan entered the palace to bid farewell to Emperor Chu, and left Kyoto with a group of people.
***
In the northern desert, the yellow sand is all over the sky. The sun is scorching.
It was noon, and the sand was so hot that even the air was scorching, and if you took a breath, it seemed that even your lungs would be burned.
Even the strongest man in the Northern Desert would not pick this time to go out.
The desert under the scorching sun, except for the long yellow sand and a little bit of air, there is no sign of animal activity.
A team of men and horses riding tall horses and holding snow bright scimitars in their hands galloped wildly in the desert under the scorching sun, in a hurry, and from time to time they reined in the horses under them, observed the traces on the ground, and then adjusted their direction.
On the yellow sand, there is still a vague line of horses' hooves, and a line of blood stains, which have been absorbed by the yellow sand and turned into brown sand grains under the high temperature. A gentle breeze blew, and the brown grains of sand quickly disappeared into the vast yellow sand.
The group of men and horses, after galloping for a while, the speed became slower and slower, most of them dismounted to find clues, to no avail, the sun became more and more intense, the roasted people were dizzy, one by one sweating like pulp, their faces were red, their lips were chapped and peeled, their clothes were soaked with sweat and then roasted, and then soaked and dried, and a thin layer of salt frost was condensed.
Even so, no one dared to say anything, and they all silently continued to look for clues.
It wasn't until someone couldn't hold on, his body was weak, and he collapsed on the yellow sand, like a signal, and several people fell down one after another, and the big man in the lead looked around, all of them were desert dunes, and there was no trace of anyone or animals, so he reluctantly spoke: "Go back, in this weather, he is seriously injured, and I am afraid that he will not be able to escape from this desert!" As he spoke, he turned his horse, raised his whip, stirred up a piece of yellow sand, and walked away.
The team of men behind him also hurriedly put the fainted people on horseback and rode away.
Far away, behind a number of sand dunes, a man dressed in black, with his head and face covered, led a camel, slowly advancing, the scorching heat seemed to have no effect on him, the steps under his feet were not large, but very regular, and each step seemed to be measured with a ruler with general precision.
